An officer on detail at the 885 Boylston St. bar denied the two entry for signs of being intoxicated, and both suspects "began to verbally disrespect and disparge the officer" according to Boston Police. 

"Upon being told to move, one of the suspects screamed, 'We can stand here. (Expletive) you. We know our rights.'" according to the report.  "The second suspect yelled, 'Do you know who you’re (expletive) with?' At one point, one of the suspects asked the officer if he had enough bullets in his gun."
